In a large bowl, whisk flour, oatmeal, baking powder, and baking soda until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, water, oil, honey and eggs. Mix in the apple and cheese. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

Evenly distribute the batter between 14 to 16 muffin cups lightly brushed with canola oil. Bake until the muffins spring back when lightly touched in the center - about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and place pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the muffins and let cool completely.

To make the frosting

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese, honey and yogurt until smooth. Sprinkle in the flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it is thick and easy to spread. Top with the shredded carrots and serve as a extra special treat to your pups!Click here to be taken to the main post

Learned a lesson though that I should watch what I google. Looking for an alternative cream cheese frosting I was brought to this site. Only after a friend read the directions allowed and questioned the PUP-cakes did we find out that it was meant for 4-legged friends.

This recipe sounds great and I know my two are going to love them! I will be going to a doggie picnic this weekend and I want to make these. Two questions: How do I adust the cooking time for mini muffins and can you suggest a more friendly warm weather frosting for them?
